Great Big Vegetable Challenge - The Book!

You all know I love Charlotte, she's a riot and sharp as a knife when it comes to creative ways to get veggie-phobic kiddies to eat their greens.

As you may have read, she has finally gotten through the alphabet of vegetables, and along this amazing journey has ended with a book deal. It's quite a great resource. A lot of the popular recipes from the blog, plus some new ones, all in one delightful and colorful resource. She took the pea-frightened Freddie, and made his a culinary celebrity and spokesperson for all things farmed from the ground!

I, personally, have a bit of a personal pride in this cookbook of hers though. Two recipes are inspired from recipes here. The Petit-Pois Muffins and the Zucchini Muffins. Both started out here as cupcakes, the Sweat Pea Cupcakes and the Zucchini Cupcakes. In my opinion, I think she made them a bit better than I did originally. The Petit-Pois is a lot fluffier and has a fresher personality than my original using butter, creme fraiche, milk and self rising flour.

Honestly, I am honored that she used the two recipes and gave me and Vanilla Garlic some mention in the book. It's crazy to me, my name is in an actual published cookbook. *girlish squeal*

So thank you so much Charlotte and Freddie! I'm getting a second copy for my nephew David, never to young to learn to start cooking and this masterpiece is a great first cookbook for any child!
